No drums, rotors. But possibly next year I'll be scoring a system. They're hella pricey though. Thanks again! No dyno numbers as of yet. Should be getting a full dyno tune real soon. Keep ya posted!!

Ah, yes -- rotors. My mistake.

I'll be awaiting some dyno vids and pics. :p

Thanks bro!! I might be needing to tear it down this weekend. Getting a knock in the top end...

As soon as it's done I'll have them up for sure

Ya, it's the Greddy TD05H-18G kit. Went with something simple and bolt-on for the time being. Kit itself comes with some good components, but I would say upgrade the injectors, pump, and ECU with the kit if one were to install it and get it pro tuned right away

just wondering... why did you lose the PS/AC?

When I first tore it down for a bottom end rebuild I removed the accessories (P/S, A/C, cruise) before actually tearing the motor down to reduce the amount of time the car would be down as it was my only transport at the time. After riding around with it like that after the rebuild I actually began to like it. It has a more "positive" feel in the steering, I never used the A/C as the turbo and manifold nearly diminished it's cooling ability, and I rarely if ever used the cruise. Also, seeing as how I would like to one day strip the engine bay and do a complete wire tuck, I'm already a few steps in that direction . Not to mention the manifold/turbo setup I would eventually like to go with will not allow P/S or A/C .

Yes it does... I've got a friend with a freshly rebuilt one here, but he doesn't want to sell... I even offered to buy his, have mine rebuilt at the SAME shop, SAME person, SAME specs and sell it to him for less than I buy his for, so he makes money off the deal... He hasn't answered me yet...

So I've pretty much determined that I've got a spun bearing. At least that's what I hope. The bottom end will no longer turn by hand. Top end is fine, already checked it out. Anyone know how often this causes more serious damage to say the rods or crank?
